HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Santa's Village
in downtown Huntsville will stay open until 10 p.m. tonight to
compensate for inclement weather Thursday, said Bart Williams, executive
director of the EarlyWorks museum complex.

Santa's Village, at 109 Gates Ave., is normally open from 5-9 p.m. but will be open an extra hour today, Williams said.

"Santa has decided that an extra hour
on the last night will give him a little more time to see everyone," Williams said.

This is the last night for Santa's Village, which opens just after Thanksgiving and runs through Dec. 23 each year.
